3 Description
The HDC2080 device is an integrated humidity and
temperature sensor that provides high accuracy
measurements with very low power consumption in a
small DFN package. The capacitive-based sensor
includes new integrated digital features and a heating
element to dissipate condensation and moisture. The
HDC2080
digital
features
include
programmable
interrupt thresholds to provide alerts and system
wake-ups without requiring a microcontroller to be
continuously monitoring the system. Combined with
programmable
sampling
intervals,
a
low
power
consumption, and a support for a 1.8-V supply
voltage, the HDC2080 is designed for battery
operated systems.
The HDC2080 provides high accuracy measurement
capability
for
a
wide
range
of
environmental
monitoring and Internet of Things (IoT) applications
such
as
smart
thermostats
and
smart
home
assistants. For designs where printed-circuit board
(PCB) area is critical, a smaller CSP package option
is available thru the HDC2010 with complete software
compatibility with the HDC2080.
For applications with strict power-budget restrictions,
Auto Measurement Mode enables the HDC2080 to
automatically
initiate
temperature
and
humidity
measurements. This feature allows users to configure
a microcontroller into deep sleep mode because the
HDC2080
is
no
longer
dependent
upon
the
microcontroller to initiate a measurement.
